The above links were used in order to provide you with a frame of reference in terms of commonly held political beliefs. For the most part, these beliefs can be summarized as follows:
- Your stand on economic and social policy is largely rooted in your perspective with respect to the role of government -- If you think government has a positive role to play in ensuring that people have fair opportunities and in providing for the general welfare, you are more of a statist and more on the left of the politician spectrum. If you believe that government is a necessary evil, that smaller government is better, and that people have a personal responsibility to look after themselves, you are more likely on the right of the political spectrum.
- Another way in which people split is along authoritarian vs libertarian lines. Those who are more authoritarian prefer the government to decide and prescribe, regulating people's activities. Those who are more libertarian prefer people to remain free to largely do as they wish.
- You were asked to take all the tests and analyze where you were likely to find yourself on the political spectrum.
